After the device has been powered-up correctly, you canstart changing the different operating modes and port features through the front panel or via RDM. To change thesettings by using the front panel, follow these instructions.
Through the front panel, you can connect 2 inputs (A andB) and 10 outputs (1 to 10). Each output has a LED indicatorand a push button. These are used to change and display
the port status. The input buttons are used to change theoperating mode of the splitter.

3.1 Zone selection per port

3.3 Mode Selection

The LumiSplit 2.10 has different operating modes. Tochange the mode, hold both input buttons (A and B) together for 2 seconds. The LEDs from both ports will start
blinking blue. Then release the two buttons and press
the desired output button to select the mode. Each output button represents another mode.
Step 1: hold the A + B button until the port LEDs changecolour.

By default, every output is linked to input / zone A. To toggle between zone A and B, shortly press the A / B button
next to the specific output. The output LED indicator colour will change accordingly. Press the button again to toggle between A and B once more.

3.2 RDM Filtering

The LumiSplit supports RDM filtering to prevent lighting
fixtures from being flooded by undesired RDM packets. You
can enable or disable RDM filtering per input (zone A / B)or per output.
RDM FILTERING PER INPUT:
Press the input button shortly to enable or disable RDM
filtering per zone (A / B). The input LED indicator colour willchange, together with all associated output LED indicators.

2 LUMISPLIT FEATURES AND MODE SELECTION / 3.4 MODES IN DETAIL / 3.5 FRONT PANEL LOCK / 3.6 FACTORY RESET

3.4 Modes in detail3.4.1 Splitter mode (1) A:
B:
The LumiSplit now runs in A / B splitter mode. This is thedefault mode.
3.4.2 Backup mode (1) A:
B:
Zone A becomes the main input, Zone B the backup input.
In the unlikely event of DMX loss on Zone A, the splitter willswitch automatically to zone B.
This mode can be used to create a backup situation for two
network converters. In case of failure of the first device, theLumiSplit will automatically switch to the other device.
When the DMX signal is lost on input A, the A LED turns red,and all output LEDs turn red. This provides the user witha clear indication that the LumiSplit has switched to thesecondary input.
When the DMX signal is back available on input A, the A
LED will turn blue again but unless auto recovery has beenenabled, the LumiSplit will NOT switch back to input A.
When the LumiSplit has recovered to Input A, all output
LEDs will turn Blue/Cyan again.
When the DMX signal on input B is NOT present both LEDs
turn red. To give back control to input A, you need topress the A input button or use the control panel throughLumiNet Monitor. Alternatively, from firmware version 6
onwards, it is possible to enable Auto recovery via RDM.
(see paragraph 4.8)
3.4.2 HTP merging mode (3) A:
B:
The LumiSplit will merge the two DMX inputs according to
the Highest Takes Precedence policy. RDM communication
with connected endpoints is no longer active.
3.4.4 LTP merging mode (4) A:
B:
The LumiSplit will merge the two DMX inputs according to
the Latest Takes Precedence policy. RDM communication
with connected endpoints is no longer active.
3.4.5 Regeneration Zone A (5) A:
B:
The LumiSplit will re-generate the incoming DMX signal
on input A with some new parameters. These parameters
can be selected through LumiNet monitor. (for more
information, see 4.7.4) RDM communication withconnected endpoints is no longer active.
3.4.6 Regeneration Zone B (6) A: B:
The LumiSplit will re-generate the incoming DMX signal
on input B with some new parameters. These parameters
can be selected through LumiNet monitor. (for more
information, see 4.7.4)
RDM communication with connected endpoints is nolonger active.
10

3.4.7 Regeneration Zone A + B (7) A:
B:
This mode allows you to quickly select regeneration modefor both inputs. The timing for each input will be set as
described above.
RDM communication with connected end points is nolonger active on both zones.
3.4.8 Dark Mode (8)Dark mode set the brightness of all LEDs to a low value.
This avoids the LumiSplit generating too much light fromits LEDs, where darkness is a must have. Once you press
one of the buttons on the front panel, the brightness will goback to full for a few seconds. Select the dark mode again
from the selection menu to disable it. Dark mode can be
set from LumiNet Monitor as well.
3.4.9 User Preset 1 (9) and 2 (10)Two user Presets can be stored on outlet 9 & 10. This allows
you to easily recall your favourite configuration or alternate
between two configurations for different applications. To
record a preset, and once in the selection mode, simply
hold one of the two buttons to store your configuration.
Once the output LED start blinking on its own, you canrelease the button. To recall the profile, once in selectionmode, press once on the output button to reload thepreset. These actions can be performed through LumiNet
Monitor as well.

3.5 Front Panel Lock

For reliability reasons you can lock the front panel. In thisway, nobody can accidentally change the settings of the
splitter during a live event for example. To lock and un-lockthe front panel, press and hold the input A button for 4 seconds. Once the power LED indicator blinks orange, release
the button and the power LED indicator will turn orange.
The front panel is now successfully locked. Execute thesame procedure to unlock the front panel again.
The front panel can be locked/unlocked from LumiNet
Monitor as well.

3.6 Factory Reset

Sometimes it can come in handy to reset the entire device.
To do that, press and hold the input A button for 10
seconds. Once the power LED indicator blinks red, release
the button. This will reset all settings to default. Pleasekeep in mind that also all user presets will be deleted after
this procedure.
The LumiSplit can be remotely reset from LumiNet Monitor
as well.

4. The new RDM experience
Not only can the LumiSplit provide you with some greatfeatures directly from its front panel, the unit can also
be remotely configured and monitored, all through RDM
connectivity.
Once LumiNet Monitor is connected to a Luminex
LumiNode or Ethernet-DMX converter with RDM enabled,
the software will provide you with a comprehensive set oftools to monitor and configure your LumiSplit 2.10.
LumiNet Monitor 2.1.6 or higher and LumiSplit firmware
v5 or higher are necessary to take full benefit of all thefeatures listed below.

4.1 Discovery

4 | THE NEW RDM EXPERIENCE / 4.6 MONITORING / 4.7 ENDPOINT VIEW

4.6 Monitoring

The RDM control panel enables you to monitor the status of all
sensors embedded in the LumiSplit. The splitter comes with
one temperature sensor, and one sensor per DC/DC converter(input and output).

To monitor the status of these sensors, right click on one of the
responders, select Control, and then, click on the Sensor tab.

The temperature sensor will indicate the actual inner temperature of the LumiSplit. The contact sensors will display the status of all DC/DC converters. A DC/DC converter’s sensor witha value of 1 means the DC/DC converter is working correctly.

4.7 Endpoint View

The LumiSplit 2.10 is the world’s first splitter to offer the endpoint view. Endpoints are any RDM compliant devices suchas lighting fixtures, smoke machines, lasers, or any remotely
managed devices.
If RDM devices are connected to the ports of the LumiSplit,
you’ll be able to know which port they are connected to.
By default, any RDM device will be listed in the RDM panel asfollows:

In this example, the RDM test device is connected to port 1of the converter using 2.0.0.12 as an IP address.
To see which port of the LumiSplit the device is connected to, right click on one of the responders of the LumiSplit
2.10 and select Control.

If RDM devices are connected to the splitter, they will appear on each port marked with a white triangle on theleft-hand side. Expand these lists, and discover the devices
connected to the selected port. This feature makes your lifeeasier when troubleshooting an installation, to follow thecomplete signal path. Hover your mouse over the discovered RDM device to get some more info about it.

4 | THE NEW RDM EXPERIENCE / 4.9 SNAPSHOT / 4.10 DMX FAIL MODE / 4.11 DMX STARTUP MODE

4.9 Snapshot

From firmware version 6 onwards the LumiSplit offers the option to record a DMX snapshot per input. This snapshot canlater be used for the DMX fail mode or Startup mode.
To use this new feature, the user will need LumiNet Monitor
v2.4.2 or higher.

4.9.1 Capture Snapshot

4.10.1 Configure DMX Fail mode

To set the DMX Fail mode, use the following steps:
 Select the desired responder in the RDM devices list.
 Right click and select DMX Fail mode.
 Choose the option you want to use.

To capture the snapshot, an active lighting state needs to bepresent.
To capture the snapshot please perform the following steps: Open LumiNet Monitor and locate the responder of thedesired 		
device(s) in the RDM devices list.
 Select the desired responder(s) and right click.
 From the pop-up window, choose Capture Snapshot(option 3 from the bottom)

The snapshot has now successfully been made.

4.10 DMX Fail Mode

In DMX Fail mode, the LumiSplit offers 3 options as output inthe unlikely event that something happens to the DMX input
signal.
The three options available are:
 Do Nothing (default), There will be NO DMX signal forward-

ed to the outputs of the respected input, until valid DMX
signal arrives at the input.
 Resend last frame, will keep repeating the last received DMX
frame on all outputs of the respective input (zone). As soon
as the DMX input receives valid DMX again, the output will
follow that new input again. The frame rate used for resending the last frame is the same as set for the regeneration
mode (default: 36 FPS with a break time of 184 μs).
 Send snapshot, makes it possible to send out the captured snap shot as lighting state with defined timings.
In this way the snapshot will be send to all concerned
outputs until valid DMX input signal is received or until the hold time expires. When a valid DMX input signal
is received again, the outputs will follow the input data.
When the DMX Fail mode is active all the output port LEDs
will blink slowly in sync.

16

4.11 DMX Startup Mode

With the DMX Startup mode , you can define the behaviour of
the LumiSplit at Startup for each input. If no DMX signal is present, you may choose the following 2 options: Do Nothing (default), There will be NO DMX signal forward-

ed to the outputs of the respected input, until valid DMX
signal arrives at the input.
 Send snapshot, makes it possible to send out the captured
snapshot as lighting state with defined timings. In this way
the snapshot will be send to all concerned outputs until valid DMX input signal is received or until the hold time expires.
When valid DMX input signal is received, the outputs will follow the input data.

4 | THE NEW RDM EXPERIENCE / 4.12 MESSAGES / 4.13 FACTORY RESET / 4.14 FIRMWARE UPGRADE

4.11.1 Configure DMX Startup mode

In order to set the DMX Startup mode, use the following
steps:LEVEL: The level is a value that acts as a master level on
the captured preset. LumiSplit only supports 255 (full) as level.

 Select the desired responder in the RDM devices list.
 Right click and select DMX Startup mode.
 Choose the option you want to use.

4.12 Messages

The LumiSplit can send messages over RDM. You can then be
notified about any change on the LumiSplit. To display themessage window, right click on one of the responders, andselect Messages.
You can save the messages to review later or print them forrecord keeping.

4.11.2 DMX Fail and Startup detailed timing

The Startup and DMX Fail features in LumiSplit are basedon standard RDM PIDs. These PIDs can be genericallycontrolled in detail via the RDM control panel.
DMX Fail mode and DMX Startup mode both make use ofpreset info in case available via RDM. The preset info will
set the configurable boundaries for setting the details ofthese modes.
The following attributes can be adjusted:
DELAY: Number of 0.1 seconds delay before the preset gets
active. 65535 (0xffff) represents infinite time. Mind that LumiSplit already takes 800ms (or 0.8 seconds) before detecting
DMX signal fail. So, by setting the Delay at 1, you set a time outof: 0.8 + 0.1 = 0.9 seconds.
HOLD: The hold time defines how long the mode stays
active. After the amount of x times 0.1 seconds, the mode willgo back to default behavior. In case of LumiSplit the minimum
hold time is 0.1 second and the maximum is infinite (65535
or 0xffff). When the hold time has elapsed, the input (zone) of
the LumiSplit will go back to “Do nothing”. Or as soon the DMX
signal has recovered the outputs will follow the incoming DMX
again.

4.13 Factory reset

The unit can be reset via RDM. To proceed, right click on one of
the responders, and select Factory Default.

4.14 Firmware upgrade

The LumiSplit 2.10 is the first splitter to be upgradable throughRDM. To upgrade the unit, you will need a Luminex LumiNode(firmware 1.1.0 or higher) or Ethernet-DMX converter (firmware
